Thank You!!

I'm pleased to learn of this decision. It's a nod to those of us who miss Sitmar Cruises and their Fairsky when Sitmar was sold to Princess.

Excellent name! Hopefully it won't have the same junk that they incorporated into Majestic Princess. The new itineraries look very interesting.

Interesting.

 

Wonder what they’ll call the next one.

At last nights captain circle cocktail party on the Crown they mentioned 3 new Royal class ships were in the works - the Sky would be the first of these. They also mentioned a whole new class of ships is in the works but no detailed info.

Our first cruise was on the Sky Princess for our honeymoon in 1990. It was a wonderful trip and hooked us on cruising!

Thanks so much for that! My first cruise was on the FairSky and had a few more cruises on her as well.

I wish I could have sailed on her purely for the novelty. The sitmar 1 off ships were special...fairmajesty (star princess 1) and fairsky/sky princess were truly unique. Given that only about 5 years separated them, the difference in exterior design is stunning. Both ships were hardly cookie cutter for the time and it's interesting to see the deckplans and how venues were arranged.

 

Glad you enjoyed it. I know cruisingrob had a heck of a time finding the deck plans.
